Tips:
- Choose firm and evenly-shaped sweet potatoes for the best results.
- Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork before baking to help them cook evenly.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the sweet potatoes into uniform cubes; this will help them cook evenly.
- Toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting; this will help them crisp up and develop flavor.
- Roast the sweet potato cubes at a high temperature (425°F) for a shorter amount of time (20-25 minutes) to get crispy roasted sweet potatoes.
- Allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly before assembling the salad; this will help prevent the dressing from wilting the arugula.
- Use a light hand when dressing the salad; too much dressing will overwhelm the other flavors.
- Top the salad with crumbled cotija cheese, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice just before serving.
Conclusion:
This cilantro-lime sweet potato salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. The roasted sweet potatoes are crispy and flavorful, and the tangy dressing pairs perfectly with the arugula and cotija cheese. This salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at your next party or potluck.
